I'm not a turbo guru by any stretch, so I have a question:
Would it be possible to mount the BOV (I assume that is the device that is attached to the intake pipe approximately where the stock air filter would be) lower on the pipe so as to hide it when the hood is open? This would be one killer, money-making, street sleeper machine. If anybody wants to check under the hood, all they would see is the "cold air intake" pipe.

lol very true but until now i didnt even know this existed, so i want to read alittle more about it. IE it uses stock cats and mid pipe, as well as stock headers? what if we went with after market headers and a custom mid pip? I am growing quite fond though from my last hour of research i found...

HHMMM, I can't answer that but I've seen one of Audible Mayhem's car in his shop that has a TN kit has its BOV attached just right after the intercooler. Also this is hard to be a sleeper coz it is not a quiet system like JWT, basically they will hear you even a few cars back if you're boosting.

Pretty much all of us are running stock exhaust system except no muffler It is still unknown if Rear-Mount Turbo like back pressure so as few of us start modding our system it is hard to say if Headers, Y-Pipe and Mid-pipe will help. look at the bright side, all of us are running around 350whp-365whp and with all stock exhaust system so there is room for improvement.

If you use a Twin Intercooler (with SC or ST)there is a great chance of loosing more pressure, There is already a discussion about this but with a Vortech System.

I understand that, but my thought is if you roll up to whatever event you are partcipating in, while keeping the car out of boost so that it's no so loud, the prospective competition could look under the hood and probably not notice anything. How loud is it at cruising/out of boost?

and I've got a nice Nismo front bumper to cover it up with, too!
However, didn't I read that the intake pipe (the original one) running from the turbo to the engine gives it about 50% of its intercooling capacity? What if you welded fins on the entire length of the pipe and ran without an IC?
BTW, I did have an entire nitrous setup, but I never installed it.

/\ This can be done since most of the LS1 kit don't even have FMIC but most of them also running on low boost (only 4-6PSI only). There are other option like water-air IC or water/meth combo can all help.
My shop does some crazy things and here's one of their product.

Just my $0.02

Well I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Thanks to AthensG and Vernon @ STS for all the info. For the price and what the kit comes with, I just could not resist. I didn’t plan on getting boost for at least another six months or longer (financial reasons).
I plan on installing this kit myself, it seems pretty straight forward (if you are somewhat mechanical inclined). Is there anything else I should know or get before I install? Also what other mods do you have?
